Healthcare Policy Development
Health policy research and formulation, regulatory analysis, health systems strengthening, governance, strategic health planning and UHC policy — from analysis to implementation and evaluation.
The challenge
Overview
Health policy shapes who gets care, how it is paid for and how well health systems perform. Good policy needs sound evidence, broad consultation and a realistic implementation plan — and it must be monitored so it can be improved.
OGHC supports ministries, regional bodies, health agencies and their partners across the full policy cycle. The practice also brings together our strategic planning and health-systems strengthening work for hospitals, health networks and public health programmes.

Do you draft policies or only advise?
Both. We can lead drafting, review drafts prepared by your team, or provide technical input to a policy process led by government.

Yes. Strategic planning and transformation for hospitals and health networks is part of this practice, alongside public-sector health planning.
